H.R. 1325: Commercial Remote Sensing Amendment Act of 2025

The Commercial Remote Sensing Amendment Act of 2025 aims to update and improve the regulations surrounding commercial remote sensing systems in the United States. Here are the main points of what this bill would do:

1. Change in Reporting Requirements

The bill proposes to shorten the deadline for annual reports related to licensing of commercial remote sensing systems from 120 days to 60 days. This means that companies would need to be quicker in providing necessary information about their operations and licensing.

2. Update Notification Process

It also modifies how notifications are handled, ensuring that the information flow regarding licensing and related regulations is clearer and more streamlined.

3. Clarify Terms and Conditions

The bill adds a requirement for transparency about the terms, conditions, or restrictions placed on companies that hold licenses for commercial remote sensing. This aims to make the licensing process more straightforward and easier to understand for all stakeholders involved.

4. Introduce Tiers for Licensing

Another key aspect is the introduction of a tiered licensing system. The bill requires the creation of a list that details all applications submitted and licenses granted, categorized by these tiers. This includes added rationale for why each application falls into a specific tier, enhancing accountability.

5. Extension of Licensing Period

The bill extends the sunset date for certain provisions related to commercial remote sensing licensing from September 30, 2020, to September 30, 2030. This ensures that the current licensing framework remains in effect for an additional five years.

6. Regulatory Framework Improvements

Overall, the bill seeks to improve the regulatory framework for commercial remote sensing systems by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and clarity in the licensing process. By modifying existing laws, the legislation aims to support the growth and accountability of commercial remote sensing in the United States.

Relevant Companies

  • GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): As a major player in satellite imagery and data services, this bill could impact their operations and compliance processes related to remote sensing licensing.
  • MAXR (Maxar Technologies Inc.): With a focus on providing satellite imagery and analytics, changes in licensing timelines and transparency could affect Maxar’s business strategies and reporting obligations.
  • ISRG (Intuitive Surgical Inc.): While primarily known for robotic surgical systems, their interest in health solutions utilizing satellite data means they could also be impacted by changes in remote sensing regulations.
